As home networks (HNs) expand rapidly, the assumption that connections to Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) are safe from lightning strikes has proven misleading. Recent incidents in Japan and the US highlight significant risks of surge damage to HN equipment. This technical session, prepared by Working Party 1, will explore the findings of investigations, including those by NTT Japan, which focuses on the surge-induced damage to internal interfaces. The session includes four informative presentations addressing this pressing issue and potential mitigation strategies.
